Video Transcript:

Well, sustainability is doing things in such a way as not to exceed the assimilative and regenerative capacity of the earth’s biosphere and renewable resources. For example, we don’t want to discharge pollutants into the atmosphere at a rate greater than the atmosphere can process them. And we don’t want to use renewable energy at a higher rate than the energy can be sustained. And this would be over a long period of time, typically could be hundreds or thousands of years for the time period.
